"Hey, Immortal Mandrill, I'm ready. Please take us up quickly."
Mandrill's eyes were slightly lowered, and he was speechless no matter how he looked at it.
He put one hand around Jiang Bai's waist and the other around Kong's waist. The two of them were hugged with their heads on the ground like sacks, and both looked at each other.
Then the next moment, Mandrill, holding two sacks, disappeared from the spot.
As for Paimon, he didn't care.
Since you can fly, you can just fly up by yourself.
Seeing them disappear suddenly, Paimon chased after them anxiously, "Wait for me!"
Mandrill suddenly disappeared and suddenly returned to Qunyu Pavilion with two people. This scene really attracted everyone's attention.
Paimon flew up panting. She had never thought that she could fly so high before.
"Huhu~ Finally came up, I'm exhausted!"
"Why are you here?" Ningguang's eyes fell on Jiang Bai and the other three.
Jiang Bai sighed, "We just finished fighting with the executioners of the Fools. They used the No-Forbidden Barrier to unblock the Demon God. Unfortunately, we couldn't stop them."
"Don't feel guilty, you can't stop this." Ningguang shook his head slightly, not intending to blame them.
The Fool Executives are very powerful and cannot be defeated by just a few Eye of God holders.
They are not soldiers of the Qianyan Army, nor are they her subordinates. They have already done a great help by voluntarily blocking the Fools' Executives, so how can they be blamed?
"Osel is still in the sea and has not yet landed at Liyue Port. You guys should rest for a while. When the Xianjia mechanism is completed, it will be time for us to counterattack!"
Jiang Bai pushed Kong in front of him, "If you have any help, just ask. Although I don't have the energy to fight now, our traveler still has plenty of energy!"
null:"."
He does still have plenty of physical strength, but there is no need to push him out like this.
Ning Guang chuckled, "I won't be polite to you if you need it."
Keqing remained silent. She had not had any interaction with this traveler, but she had met Jiang Bai a few times.
Her eyes fell on Jiang Bai's hand that was still bleeding. Even though it had been covered with a layer of bandages, because the bleeding had not stopped and it was raining, his entire arm was bright red, and there was even blood running down his fingers.
The tips dripped down.
"Has your injury not been treated yet? Come with me while you still have time to breathe, and I will take you to apply medicine."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Keqing." Jiang Bai was not familiar with Keqing, and he had previously guessed that Keqing and Zhongli were in the same group.
"Just call me Keqing."
Ke Qing took Jiang Bai to the rest room of Qunyu Pavilion. At this moment, many Qianyan Army soldiers were adjusting inside, preparing to face the devil in the best posture.
Bai Yuan climbed onto his shoulder to form a shoulder armor. Jiang Bai tore off the entire sleeve of his right arm and pulled off the blood-soaked bandage.
The area protected by Bai Yuan was intact, but outside the area covered by Bai Yuan, there were traces of blood deep into the bones.
Jiang Bai's expression didn't change much. His perception of pain was very low.
While applying medicine to the wound, he was still in the mood to chat with Keqing.
"There should be seven of the Seven Stars, right? Except for Ningguang and Miss Keqing, I have never seen the others."
Not only have I never seen them, I have rarely even heard of the names of other seven stars.
Ke Qing admired the way he remained calm despite being so seriously injured, "Not every Seven Star likes to be in public."
"I see. Speaking of which, Keqing, what do you think of the emperor's passing?" Jiang Bai looked at her curiously.
I heard her say something like that last year, and this year the emperor died, which feels very strange.
Not to mention that he had doubted her before.
As for who the emperor is now, well, he doesn't want to think about it.
"The passing of the emperor is an established fact. The era of immortals has passed. Now is the era of humans. The Seven Stars of Liyue will protect Liyue Port to the death!"
Keqing's words were sonorous and powerful, just like her usual style.
Jiang Bai didn't say anything to Ke Qing's words.
The reason why Liyue has not experienced any political turmoil for 3,700 years is because Liyue has a wise god.
God's beliefs are eternal. He has been adhering to his principles for 3,700 years, and his will will not change with the erosion of time.
He will always go on the path he thinks is right.
But people are different.
Man is a complex creature with various desires.
Maybe the current Seven Stars can stick to their principles, but what about the next generation? What about the next generation?
There are wise people, and naturally there are stupid people. No one can predict what will happen to people in the future.
Maybe in a few decades or hundreds of years, Liyue will no longer be what it is now.
But when there is oppression, there will be resistance, and the existence of the Eye of God also makes the people at the top always have concerns and dare not oppress too harshly.
Just like Mondstadt next door, when one regime decays, another regime will replace it.
Life will always find a way.
Besides, Liyue also has long-lived immortals. Their existence is like the Sword of Damocles. Even the most mediocre leader will be wary of these existences and not dare to oppress the people too harshly.
"Then what do you think of the immortal blessing Liyue?" Jiang Bai looked at her curiously, wanting to hear what she said about the immortal.
"When you say [blessing], do you mean that kind of condescending arrogance?" Keqing obviously has a lot of opinions about the immortal, and the conversation at the dinner table must have been unpleasant.
"Uh? Is there any?"
It's not that Jiang Bai has no contact with immortals, he really doesn't feel that there is much arrogance in him.
Immortals just have quite a personality. Once you get to know them, they are almost like ordinary people and are quite easy to talk to.
After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to and has no airs like Grandma Ping.
"Humph, you are just an ordinary citizen and the object of their protection. Of course you can't feel it." Ke Qing was not in the mood to explain to him in detail this something that only those in power can feel.
Jiang Bai understood, probably because neither party could convince the other.
The Immortal didn't think Qixing could protect Liyue well, and Qixing didn't want the Immortal who had long since left the world to interfere with things in Liyue Port again.
In the eyes of Qixing, this is the "arrogance" of the immortals towards them.
Jiang Bai sprinkled the wound on his hand with anti-hemostatic powder and re-bandaged it with a clean bandage.
He stood up and moved around, and then stretched after making sure that it would not affect his movements.
"I think the existence of immortals is a good thing. After all, we can't expect every generation of Seven Stars in the future to be like you and take protecting Liyue as their own responsibility. And the existence of immortals is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging above your heads.
You had some concerns when you ruled."
Ke Qing could not refute Jiang Bai's statement.
All things have good and bad qualities, and so do immortals.
"Then let them watch closely and see where Liyue will go under human rule."
